Controls Tab

You use the Controls tab to change the parameters for generator clips, such as the font
and text size in a Text generator, or the size of a Circle Shape generator. The Controls
tab appears only when a generator is open in the Viewer. For additional information,
see Volume III, Chapter 21, “Using Built-in Generated Clips.”

Transport (or Playback) Controls

Transport controls let you play clips in the Viewer. (The same controls also appear in
the Log and Capture and Edit to Tape windows.) These controls play clips at 100
percent (or 1x) speed. There are keyboard shortcuts for each control.

 Play (Space bar): Plays your clip from the current location of the playhead. Clicking it

again stops playback.

 Play In to Out (Shift-\): Moves the playhead to the current In point of a clip and plays

forward from that point to the Out point.
